Everyone's Environment: Have your say on climate action

Project overview

Everyone’s Environment is a social purpose and environmental alliance championing community voices and life experiences.

Together with communities and key partners including Turn2us, Race Equality Foundation, Disability Rights UK and New Philanthropy Capital (NPC), Everyone’s Environment is changing who is included in decisions about the climate, nature and our futures.

With over 14 million people currently living in poverty in the UK, including 4.5 million children, any meaningful move toward a greener future must ensure that those already marginalised are not left further behind.

At Turn2us, we know that environmental issues and financial hardship are deeply connected. Climate change disproportionately affects people on low incomes through higher energy bills, rising food costs, and poorly insulated housing.

By ensuring climate action includes economic justice, we're making sure the transition to a greener future doesn't push more families into poverty. Instead, we want everyone to benefit from environmental improvements while protecting the most at risk of poverty in our communities.

Everyone's Environment: Local

Already working to make your local area better? This programme connects community groups, organisations and charities across different regions - helping them include climate and nature in their existing work.

Join to get free training in how to advocate for the communities you serve and embed climate action into your social mission. You'll help influence and shape local and national policies that affect marginalised groups, while making sure everyone benefits from environmental change rather than paying the price for it.

If you are a grassroots organisation working with people facing financial insecurity, disabled people or ethnic minority communities, you could receive hands-on support as part of Everyone's Environment: Local in Greater Manchester this year.

Everyone's Environment: Voices

The Voices programme is a paid programme that supports individuals nationally to champion their communities in policy spaces and help shift the narrative on climate justice.

It amplifies the voices of communities most affected by climate change and nature loss - helping people shape public and media debate and tell their own stories. Professional training in storytelling, media engagement and policy advocacy is included.

By joining, you become part of a growing network of advocates working together to get community voices heard in the decisions that matter.

If you have an experience that is not currently reflected in environmental debates, you could receive support as part of Everyone's Environment: Voices. 

How to get involved

Everyone's Environment values your real-life experience - you don't need to be an environmental expert to take part.

We welcome individuals and organisations working on the frontlines of social and environmental justice. Whether you're interested in shaping local decisions or amplifying your voice nationally, there's a place for you.
